The Chaldean Community Foundation and the City of Southfield host a FREE admission celebration weekend of Chaldean food, music and culture
The Chaldean Community Foundation and the North American Midway have partnered with the City of Southfield to co-host the sixth annual Chaldean Festival on June 10, 11 and 12 at the Southfield Civic Center.
The three-day FREE admision festival will feature a full carnival with amusement park rides and games. There will also be additional attractions, such as food booths, live entertainment, merchant booths, and an expanded cultural tent displaying Chaldean culture and art.
The Chaldean Festival is a celebration of contemporary Chaldean culture for anyone who wishes to be a part of the festivities and learn about the Chaldean roots.
“With an expected 10,000 additional Chaldean refugees coming to Michigan over the next year, our annual Chaldean Festival is an opportunity to show metro Detroit who we are, as a community,” said Martin Manna, Executive Director, Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce. “Chaldean entertainers, businesses and food vendors all participate, offering a look at our culture as well as contributions to southeast Michigan’s business community.”
This year’s festival will take place from 4-10 p.m. on Friday, June 10; noon to 10 p.m. on Saturday, June 11; and noon to 10 p.m. on Sunday, June 12 at the Southfield Civic Center lawn, and Evergreen Road, between 10 and 11 Mile Road. Evergreen Road will be closed June 10-12 for the event.
The festival is also working with the City of Southfield to reinvigorate the Jazz Festival, last held in 2009, by making Friday a jazz night.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Chaldean Community Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable arm of the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce.
